Police arrest kidnapper of a 8 year old child

Mumbai, May 05 (UNI) Mumbai police today arrested the kidnapper of an eight-year old child, when he was trying to escape with the child from Valsad.

Addressing mediapersons here, joint commissioner of police Rakesh Maria said the accused Babu Ahmed Khan 32, a painter by profession, kidnapped the child on May 1.

Later, Mr Satyendra Thakur, the father of the child, registered a complaint with Dahisar police.

Maria said the accused was living with an 30 year old widow, who had 2 children from her first marriage and was the sister of Thakur's wife. There were some problems between Khan and his wife, which led to fights between them, leading to Khan's wife staying separately.

''Babu felt that the problems with his wife were because of the involvement of his sister and out of anger, he kidnapped their child,'' said Mr Maria.

The child has been rescued and Khan will be produced in a court tomorrow.
